I'm dressed up as the timid eldest daughter, and the whole family has to listen to me!

Su Banxia walked to the door and shouted at the top of her lungs:

"Who is it?"

No one answered, but Su Banxia continued knocking on the door.

"Dong dong dong! Dong dong dong!"

Su Banxia was a little nervous. She grabbed the shovel by the door, gripped it tightly, and called out again.

"Tell me who it is, or I won't open the door."

The knocking stopped briefly, and after a while, a faint, tearful voice could be heard from outside the door.

"Half, Half Summer, it's me, I'm Su Yunhe, your aunt..."

Upon hearing this, Su Banxia hurriedly put down the shovel in her hand, opened the courtyard gate and rushed to the canal. She was already soaked to the bone, and her clothes were torn from somewhere, making her look disheveled. If someone else saw her, they really wouldn't be able to tell if she was a human or a ghost...

Seeing her disheveled state, Su Banxia quickly helped her into the courtyard and, braving the rain, asked:

"Auntie, what brings you here today?"

Su Yunhe gripped Su Banxia's arm tightly, as if grasping at a lifeline, and said in a tearful voice:

"Banxia, ​​save me, save me, only you can save me..."

Seeing Su Yunhe constantly muttering to herself, asking me to save her, Su Banxia frowned slightly, sensing that this matter was not simple.

So she didn't disturb the family, and directly helped Su Yunhe upstairs to her room, then held Su Yunhe's hand and comforted her:

"Auntie, wait here for me for a while. I'll go downstairs and boil some hot water for you, then I'll come back to you. You should hurry up and wash yourself, or you might catch a cold."

After saying that, Su Banxia took out a set of coarse cloth clothes from the cabinet and handed them to Su Yunhe.

"You should change out of your wet clothes first."

After giving these instructions, Su Banxia quickly ran downstairs, boiled a large pot of water in the kitchen, and then carried the boiling water upstairs in a wooden bucket.

"Auntie, why don't you wash up first?"

At this moment, Su Yunhe was like a puppet with its strings cut. She did whatever Su Banxia told her to do, with a numb and expressionless face that was quite creepy to look at.

Su Yunhe blankly picked up the handkerchief Su Banxia handed her and began to wash herself with hot water.

Su Banxia hadn't noticed it while she was soaked in the rain, but upon closer inspection, she discovered that Su Yunhe's clothes appeared to be stained with large patches of blood. Su Banxia's heart tightened involuntarily.

"Auntie, are you injured?"

"No, no."

Su Yunhe replied woodenly.

Seeing that she couldn't get any information out of Su Yunhe, Su Banxia could only wait until Su Yunhe finished showering before asking her in detail. Su Banxia figured that Su Yunhe would need some time to shower anyway, so she went downstairs, used the remaining hot water to wash herself in the kitchen, changed into clean clothes, and then went back upstairs.

Su Yunhe had already washed up and changed her clothes, and was sitting blankly at the table waiting for Su Banxia to return.

Seeing Su Yunhe's absent-minded expression, Su Banxia asked:

"Aunt, what happened? Why did you suddenly come here in the rain today? And why did you ask me to save you? Did Zhang Da hit you again?"

As soon as Su Banxia mentioned Zhang Da, Su Yunhe's expression suddenly changed, as if she had been frightened. She kept shaking her head and waving her hands, muttering to herself:

"No, it wasn't me, I didn't kill you! Don't come looking for me, it was you, yes, you brought this on yourself!"

At this point, Su Yunhe suddenly curled her lips into a sinister smile…

Su Banxia was confused by Su Yunhe's behavior. Why was Su Yunhe asking her to save her one minute and saying she wanted to kill Zhang Da the next? What was going on?

Seeing Su Yunhe's current state, it seemed that she was not mentally stable. Helpless, Su Banxia grabbed Su Yunhe's wrist and took her pulse. The pulse indicated that Su Yunhe's body was deficient, and her current state was probably caused by severe fright.

Su Banxia took out silver needles and inserted them into Su Yunhe's eyes several times to stabilize his mind. After a while, Su Yunhe's vision cleared up a little.

"Banxia, ​​what are you doing here?"

Su Banxia shook her head helplessly.

"Auntie, it's my turn to ask you, why did you come to our house?"

Su Yunhe seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly grabbed Su Banxia's hand, saying nervously:

"Where's Zhang Da? Didn't he come along?"

Su Banxia frowned.

"No, he didn't come. Don't worry, Auntie. You came alone. Tell me what happened?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yunhe suddenly lowered her head and began to recall carefully.

Su Yunhe recalled that early this morning, before she was even fully awake, Zhang Da dragged her out of bed and, as usual, pulled her to watch him slaughter a pig.

When did this habit begin?

It seems that one time, after Zhang Da beat him up, he made Su Yunhe help slaughter a pig. He inadvertently discovered that Su Yunhe seemed terrified of seeing pigs being slaughtered, so Zhang Da began to find pleasure in this and started to torment Su Yunhe even more severely.

The more Su Yunhe disliked seeing him slaughter pigs, the more Zhang Da would call her to his side every time he did it, tie her to a chair, and make her watch helplessly as he slaughtered the pig…

Su Yunhe lived in fear and tension every day. Today, as usual, Zhang Da called Su Yunhe to go watch him slaughter a pig.

Today, Zhang Da didn't tie Su Yunhe up tightly with the rope, and Su Yunhe couldn't take it anymore, so she broke free with a burst of strength...

Thinking of this, Su Yunhe's face suddenly turned pale, and she grabbed Su Banxia's hand.

"Banxia, ​​I... I killed someone..."

Su Banxia was also shocked to hear this.

"What? You, who did you kill?"

Su Yunhe's lips trembled as she spoke:

"I...I killed him, I killed Zhang Da, I killed Zhang Da..."

As Su Yunhe spoke, her emotions began to surge, and her body trembled uncontrollably. Seeing this, Su Banxia hugged Su Yunhe tightly and whispered comforting words in her ear:

"Auntie, don't be afraid. Tell me what happened. Tell me slowly, don't rush."

Su Banxia's voice seemed to have a magical power, instantly calming Su Yunhe down. He looked into Su Banxia's eyes and slowly spoke.

"This morning he took me to watch him slaughter a pig. That beast makes me tie to a chair every day to watch him kill pigs; he likes to see me terrified. Today, when he tied me up, he didn't tie the rope tightly enough. Just as he was waving the pig's eyes in front of me, I couldn't take it anymore. I desperately pulled the rope off and pushed him to the ground. He wasn't expecting it, and I easily pushed him down. Lying on the ground, he kept cursing and saying I was born of an animal, and he even cursed my parents. My parents treat me so well, how could he curse them like that..."
